  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, February 22, 2011 Oakland A's Know This Much About David Dejesus
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, February 22, 2011 Oakland A's know this much about David DeJesus: He can hit By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune PHOENIX -- For a guy who appears to have a spot locked down in the A's lineup, David DeJesus' exact role is hard to define. Is he a rally-starter who best fits near the top of the lineup, or a run producer who will earn his paycheck clearing the bases? All that's known is DeJesus, obtained via trade from Kansas City in November, is targeted for right field. If the A's wind up showing improvement offensively this season, figure DeJesus will be central to the effort in one way or another. "He's an all-around hitter who uses the whole field," A's manager Bob Geren said. "There are guys that hit more home runs, but when you put the numbers together, he's one of the best hitters in baseball." A .289 career hitter over seven-plus major league seasons, DeJesus, 31, has collected as many as 73 RBIs in a year (2008) and scored as many as 101 runs (2007). One notable stat for fans tired of watching A's hitters make the slow walk back to the dugout: DeJesus led the majors last season with a .287 average in two-strike counts. There's a strong chance he'll wind up as the No. 3 hitter by default -- sandwiched between table-setters Coco Crisp and Daric Barton and sluggers Josh Willingham and Hideki Matsui. Therein lies the problem that exists for the A's in the eyes of some.

  • Castrovince | October 23Rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- the Baseball Season Ends with Someone Else Celebrating
    C's the day before: Chicago, Cleveland ready By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com | @castrovince | October 23rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- The baseball season ends with someone else celebrating. That's just how it is for fans of the Indians and Cubs. And then winter begins, and, to paraphrase the great meteorologist Phil Connors from "Groundhog Day," it is cold, it is gray and it lasts the rest of your life. The city of Cleveland has had 68 of those salt-spreading, ice-chopping, snow-shoveling winters between Tribe titles, while Chicagoans with an affinity for the North Siders have all been biding their time in the wintry winds since, in all probability, well before birth. Remarkably, it's been 108 years since the Cubs were last on top of the baseball world. So if patience is a virtue, the Cubs and Tribe are as virtuous as they come. And the 2016 World Series that arrives with Monday's Media Day - - the pinch-us, we're-really-here appetizer to Tuesday's intensely anticipated Game 1 at Progressive Field -- is one pitting fan bases of shared circumstances and sentiments against each other. These are two cities, separated by just 350 miles, on the Great Lakes with no great shakes in the realm of baseball background, and that has instilled in their people a common and eventually unmet refrain of "Why not us?" But for one of them, the tide will soon turn and so, too, will the response: "Really? Us?" Yes, you. Imagine what that would feel like for Norman Rosen. He's 90 years old and wise to the patience required of Cubs fandom.
